 Sailors aboard USS George H.W. Bush celebrated Women's History Month with presentations highlighting historical and personal experiences from women around the ship. The speakers provided background on the barriers women encounter in the fight for equality and obstacles they themselves have had to overcome. The speaker of the event, Commander Ann Bruckman, HSM 46 Executive Officer, shared how she views women's history. The rewarding and the eye-opening times are what keep me in the Navy. So while the frustrating ones tend to stick out sometimes, I always try to remind myself of all the awesome people and things I've gotten to witness that have been rewarding. One of the most rewarding things that has recently just happened, one of my really good friends and a mother of four children as an aviator who for any of the aviators in the room know that that's incredibly difficult to accomplish and still fly and have four children. But not only did she do that, she had her fourth child while sitting as an exo and then went on parental leave while as a CEO. And it might not seem like a crazy thing and might not make the cover of Navy Times as the first woman to do this, but it's monumental that we've come as a Navy this far to allow someone to be able to have a fully satisfying family life and then still be the planning officer of the squadron.
